Chapter
System Description
This chapter gives the system background, position and role in mobile network, external interfaces among system and other NEs, and system structure of ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00).
System Background
GSM digital mobile communication system consists of MSS, BSS and MS. BSS consists of BSC, which is the control center, and BTS, which is the radio transceiver. BTS is controlled by BSC, which serves one or more cells. BSC implements radio transmission and relevant control of the air interface between BSS and MS, and implement radio resource management with BS. ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) is one of the ZXG10-BTS series of base transceiver stations, and is an indoor macro cell BTS of thirdgeneration for GSM. It employs many new technologies based on ZXG10-BTS (V2) and achieves improvement in software, hardware, and system reliability.
Figure 1 shows the GSM network.

ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) applies to heavy traffic zones, and can be used for rural areas and expressways.
Chapter 1 System Description
System Position and Role in Mobile Network

System Position in Mobile Network Figure 2 shows the ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) in a GSM/GPRS network.
FIGURE 2 ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) IN A GSM/GPRS NETWORK
Relationship between System and Other NEs and Realized Functions
In a GSM/GPRS network, ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) is the radio transceiver for GSM BSS. BSC controls BTS, and one BTS serves a certain cell or several cells. Abis interface connects BTS to BSC. It helps BSC to manage radio resources, and achieve radio transmission with MS and relevant control functions through Um interface. It implements layer-1 and layer-2 protocols on the radio link and related control functions.
External Interfaces among System and Other NEs

Um Interface In PLMN, MS connects fixed parts of the network through a radio channel to enable subscribers to access communication services. A set of standards is set up along with a series of conditions provided to interconnect MS with BTS for signal transmission over the radio channel. This set of specifications about signal transmission over radio channel is the Um interface. Um interface hierarchical model constitutes both circuit service protocol as well as packet service protocol and both are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively. The packet service protocol is used at BSC side and here only physical layer is discussed.

On the Um interface, the circuit service protocol falls into three layers as follows: Layer-1 (bottom) is the physical layer, consists of various channels and provides the basic wireless channels for upper level message transmission. Layer-2 (middle) is the data link layer with the LAPDm used which controls and transmits the data between MS and BTS. Layer-3 (top) is the highest layer, which comprises of various messages and programs and provides service control. Layer 3 consists of three sub-layers: Radio Resource Management (RR) Mobility Management (MM) Connection Management (CM) Relevant protocols of Um interface are as follows: GSM 04.03 describes the channel structure and access capability. GSM 04.04 specifies the physical layer structure. GSM 04.05 specifies the data link layer protocols. GSM 04.08 specifies the layer 3 protocols. Abis Interface Abis interface sends signal from BSC to BTS through standard E1 cable of PCM. The unbalanced input mode of 75 or the balanced input mode of 120 coaxial cable is used to access through transmission equipment such as digital microwave, fiber transmission (SDH and PDH), and the satellite link. Physically, an E1 interface is used as Abis interface and it is connected with the thin coaxial cable and D-socket. Abis interface hierarchical model constitutes circuit service protocol as shown in Figure 5. The Abis interface does not process the packet service protocol and it is transparent for packet signaling.

On the Abis interface, the circuit service protocol falls into three layers as follows: Layer-1 (bottom) is the physical layer and it is the PCM digital link at the rate of 2 Mbps. Layer-2 (middle) is the data link layer and it is based on LAPD. Layer-3 (top) transparently transmits the layer-3 messages on Abis interface and manages radio resources. Relevant protocols of Abis interface are as follows: GSM 08.52 presents basic principles and rules of other specifications for Abis interface and how the service functions are divided between BSC and BTS. GSM 08.54 specifies physical structure of Abis interface. GSM 08.56 specifies data link layer protocols of Abis interface. GSM 08.58 stipulates layer-3 protocols of Abis interface. GSM 12.21 specifies O&M message transmission mechanism on the Abis interface. Figure 6 shows the flexible example of the Abis interface timeslot configuration.
FIGURE 6 - EXAMPLE OF ABIS INTERFACE TIMESLOT CONFIGURATION
O&M TSs on the Abis interface are multiplexed in each site, and the O&M signaling at different sites occupy the fixed TS on the Abis interface. At initialization, OMM reads ID signal from the rack top, and specifies TS of the BTS O&M information in the Abis interface according to the ID. For ID description, refer to DIP Switches and Jumpers.
The Abis interface has the following four types of TSs: TCH TS for TRM service Frame Unit LAPD (FUL) TS for TRM signaling O&M TS for operation and maintenance signaling EAM TS for transparent environment monitoring channel Abis interface processing is as follows: Transparently transmit the TCH, FUL, O&M and EAM between cascaded sites. On the site, the processes are according to the direction of the signaling as follows: Downlink: TCH and FUL signaling are transmitted to each transparently. The O&M transparently switches to signaling according to Terminal Endpoint Identifier and master rack transparently transmits the signaling. Uplink: The TCH signaling is transmitted transparently. FUL signaling in the same cabinet is compressed and packed in the CMM. O&M signaling is multiplexed based on TEI, and master rack transparently transmits the EAM signaling. TRM OMC (TEI) EAM

Support the following power compensation in Down-link: Dual Power Combining Transmission (DPCT): When seeking greater cell range, it is crucial to have a strong signal from the BTS to the handset. This is often referred to as downlink capability. The handset represents it as signal strength. In configurations intended for maximum coverage, DPCT doubles the output power from the BTS cabinet, resulting in a significantly larger coverage area.
12
Chapter 2 System Functions
All power emissions are combined together to increase the emission at the antenna end. The down-link signal power can be increased by 3 dB with combination. Delay Diversity Transmission (DDT): The signal in down-link is retransmitted in a specified symbols delay to avoid the related interferences. The delay period can be adjusted by operator with 0.125 symbol step within 5 symbols. The terminal gathers two phases of radio signal, carrying the same information and take entire different interference as noise. The down-link signal power can be increased by 3 dB by time-shifting. Supports the following power compensation in Up-link Interference Rejection Combining (IRC): With the efforts of diversity antenna, BTS can get 11 dB gain in software simulation or 5~6 dB gain in typical downtown area. By using IRC, BTS should be equipped with at least two RX antennas. Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) The BTS picks up the largest receiving power signal from RX. The DTRU compare received signals.

Chapter 4 Hardware Components Introduction
Clock Distribution
There are two main functions of clock system: Clock synchronization Clock distribution The system can work in free oscillation or network synchronization mode. The processing of 13 MHz clock synchronization is the same as in ZXG10-BTS (V2.0). However, in ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00), radio clock can work in free oscillation or synchronize with the ground transmission network. If system radio clock is configured for network synchronization, the system transmission clock should also be configured for network synchronization. There are two types of Abis interface in B8018 system: E1/T1 interface 100 Mbps Ethernet interface The system can work in free oscillation as well as network synchronization mode for both types of Abis interfaces. If the Abis interface is E1/T1, in network synchronization, both 2 MHz and 8 KHz synchronization clocks can be obtained. However, in the case of 100 Mbps Ethernet Abis interface, the 8 kHz synchronization can only be obtained from 2 MHz clock. The clock transmission in the internal system is implemented through LVDS. Clock from CMB to DTRU includes 13 MHz, 60 ms synchronization signal, 8 MHz, and 8K_8MW. The system clock distribution in the rack of ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00), distributes from CMB to DTRU, employs point-to-multipoint bus LVDS for the same carrier frequency frame. This is shown in Figure 10. The clock is delivered to each carrier frequency frame through differential bus, and each DTRU of the same carrier frequency frame gets clock from the same bus. The 60 ms synchronization is to combine cabinet capacity expansion, and the frame number is transmitted via E1. If 60 ms synchronization signal is used in combined cabinet capacity expansion, it includes receiving 60 ms synchronization signal from main rack or sending 60 ms synchronization signal to secondary rack.

Each fan shelf can hold two fan modules that can be independently plugged/unplugged to ensure that they do not affect each other during their running. There are sockets on the back of each fan shelf and on the rear columns to connect the fan shelf with the rear columns. On the back of each fan shelf is a fan control board to control the rotation speed and wind volume of the fans, based on the temperature measured by the temperature probe on this fan control board.
Air Filter Subrack

Located in the bottom layer of the cabinet, the air filter shelf performs the dustproof function. The structure of the air filter shelf is shown in Figure 24.

Backplane
There are two types of backplanes in ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) cabinet. BBCM The backplane used by the top shelf (CMB) is the BBCM (Motherboard of CMB). The BBCM bears the active and standby CMBs and transmits information between the active/standby CMBs and the carrier shelves/rack top/PDM. BBTR The backplane used by the carrier shelves is the BBTR (Motherboard of the Transceiver Module). The BBTR can bear three DTRUs and three AEMs. It provides the following functions: Sends the clock and downlink data from the CMB to the DTRU, and sends the uplink data from the DTRU to the CMB. Receives the alarms output by the AEM and the FCM. Supplies 12 V tower mounted amplifier power to the cabinet top. DIP Switches and Jumpers A Type D socket is located on the top of each ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00) cabinet. In the socket, a circuit board with a DIP switch is installed, which can be used to set the cabinet ID. Note: For DIP switches S1 and S2, 0 means ON and 1 means OFF. Bits 1 ~ 8 of DIP switch S1 stand for bits 0 ~ 7 of the ID while Bits 1 ~ 8 bits of S2 stand for bits 8 ~ 15 of the ID. The CMB reads ID when being powered on and initialized to decide the cabinet level (basic/extended), synchronization clock port of the SDH network, and the O&M timeslot position. When the switches are set to ON, the ID status collected by the CMB is 0; otherwise, the status is 1. ID is a 16-bit serial number, as shown in Figure 25.

Networking Modes and Configuration

Networking Modes
Star Networking Figure 50 shows star networking of ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00). Each line denotes a bi-directional E1 connection. The DIP switch settings of BTS should be according to the background configurations.

In star networking, each site contains n E1 PCM links directly connected with BSC. BTS uses terminal equipment on each site to terminate E1 links. Since signal transmission is through fewer intermediate links along the path, the reliability of transmission is higher. This networking mode is deployed in densely populated areas. Chain Networking Figure 51 shows the chain networking of ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00). Each line denotes a bi-directional E1 connection. The DIP switch

Chain networking is applicable to one-site multi-BTS situation. Since signals go through more links, the line reliability is relatively poor than star networking. This networking mode is applicable to stripe-like areas with a small population, which saves a large number of transmission devices. To prevent the clock performance drop, it is recommended not to connect more than four BTSs in cascaded form in chain networking mode. Tree Networking Figure 52 shows the tree-networking mode of ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00). Each line denotes a bi-directional E1 connection. The DIP switch settings of BTS should be according to the background configurations.

SITE n
In this mode, signals pass through many nodes and the line reliability is relatively low, which makes it complicated. The fault from upper-level site can affect the proper running of the lowerlevel site. In tree-networking, BTS connects with BSC through central node, which further distributes itself into three nodes. The tree-networking mode is deployed in large areas with less population. In actual networking projects, due to decentralized sites, the transmission equipment is used for intermediate connection between BSC and BTS. A common transmission mode includes microwave, optical fibers, HDSL cables, and coaxial cables. Satellite links can be used for special transmission modes.

Ring Networking
Figure 53 shows the ring-networking mode of ZXG10 B8018 (V1.00). Each line denotes a bi-directional E1 connection. The DIP switch settings of BTS should be according to the background configurations.

In this mode, all the nodes are connected in a closed loop. It can span larger distances than other types of networks. The reliability is higher; as it stays connect with BSC through the other end, if the link is broken from one place. It can be deployed in suburb and rural areas.
